Kentucky vs. LSU CBB Prediction:
Kentucky looks for their third consecutive victory, while LSU looks to win two in a row.
Take the Wildcats. Kentucky looks like their figuring out their defensive issues after back-to-back solid performances, if they continue to play decent on that end it is going to be tough for anybody to beat them especially LSU here.
The Tigers struggle on both ends of the floor at times, there coming off a nice win against South Carolina, however they were down big before rallying late. Kentucky has too much firepower for the Tigers to mount a comeback if they go down early. The crowd will be fired up, but they won’t be able to feed off that momentum for 40 minutes. Lay the number.
